Details

Changes out the external_repo/cti clone for the STIX2.1 version, which functions with the version of attackcti that we're using in contentctl (version pinned there due to pydantic).

Will add the MITRE updates required to build to this repo once we can get the CI running with the new version of contentctl

Associated contentctl changes: splunk/contentctl#479

This also currently includes the changes in #4035

Checklist

  • Validate name matches <platform>_<mitre att&ck technique>_<short description> nomenclature
  • CI/CD jobs passed ✔️
  • Validated SPL logic.
  • Validated tags, description, and how to implement.
  • Verified references match analytic.
  • Confirm updates to lookups are handled properly.

Notes For Submitters and Reviewers

  • If you're submitting a PR from a fork, ensuring the box to allow updates from maintainers is checked will help speed up the process of getting it merged.
  • Checking the output of the build CI job when it fails will likely show an error about what is failing. You may have a very descriptive error of the specific field(s) in the specific file(s) that is causing an issue. In some cases, its also possible there is an issue with the YAML. Many of these can be caught with the pre-commit hooks if you set them up. These errors will be less descriptive as to what exactly is wrong, but will give you a column and row position in a specific file where the YAML processing breaks. If you're having trouble with this, feel free to add a comment to your PR tagging one of the maintainers and we'll be happy to help troubleshoot it.
  • Updates to existing lookup files can be tricky, because of how Splunk handles application updates and the differences between existing lookup files being updated vs new lookups. You can read more here but the short version is that any changes to lookup files need to bump the the date and version in the associated YAML file.

Migrated the techniques per https://medium.com/mitre-attack/attack-v19-ff329cb65d66 and the Crosswalk. Held off on version bumps to make sure I wasn't double bumping.

@ljstella ljstella added this to the v5.27.0 milestone Apr 28, 2026

Probably obvious, but all of these detections will need a bump to their version + date fields.

Status of lookups:

  • lookups\suspicious_named_pipes.csv

Status: There's overlap but only partial overlap with Mitre Tactic names here, probably fine to leave the "Defense Evasion" ones as is.

  • lookups\windows_suspicious_tasks.csv

Status: There's overlap but only partial overlap with Mitre Tactic names here, probably fine to leave the "Defense Evasion" ones as is.

  • lookups\windows_suspicious_services.csv

Status: There's overlap but only partial overlap with Mitre Tactic names here, probably fine to leave the "Defense Evasion" ones as is.

  • app_template\lookups\mitre_enrichment.csv

Status: Done, added in previous commit

  • lookups\hijacklibs_loaded.csv

Status: No changes needed, included techniques were not migrated

That being said, this should now be good to go.
